Expand/Open Excel Ribbon menu with VBA - excel

I have a custom tab in Excel (2013). On the tab, there is a menu that has multiple toggle buttons. It would be beneficial from a user standpoint that the menu would stay open until they are done with all their selections.
So I am looking for a way to keep the menu expanded after clicking any of the toggle buttons and the only way to close the menu is to click away from the menu. One thought that I had/looking for, is there any way through vba to expand a menu in the ribbon. So I would include that at the end of the sub-routine for each toggle button.

I am trying to add a new button under Fill color in Home tab in excel
I have tried adding my button by going to File > Option > Customize Ribbon but the options are disabled
I want to add my button in "Home" tab
Here is an interesting way of customizing the ribbon in excel (still works in Excel 2016) :

In brief, with the help of CustomUI you will modify part of the file archive in the way that you can remove actual tabs, add your own tab, and custom buttons inside of it
You asked for adding a button in the "Home" tab, a workaround would be recreating "Home" tab in a personnal ribbon tab and adding your own button to it. Your personnal button could trigger a macro sub (VBA) or even use native Excel functionalities.
(I can help you further if you choose this way)

Userform Multipage disabling tab click

I have a userform with multipage tabs, within each tab there is a "next" command button that allows you to move onto the next tab if there are no errors (if there is an error, it prompts the user and sets the focus to the error on that tab). When the userform is open, I can click the tabs to jump around without completing anything which defeats the purpose of my error handling.
Is there a way to disable tab selection? Or add a sub to the tab itself?
Thanks
Change the Style property of the Multipage to fmTabStyleNone (2).
